Cycling

Wet feet

I went out for a ride at lunchtime. I was expecting to see flood water, but I wasn't expecting to have to cycle through it.

The road I was on looked like a causeway yesterday. Today it would seem the tide has come in.

The mud/splash guards couldn't stop water soaking my legs. At the pedal reached the bottom of the stroke it skimmed the surface of the water but at one point was completely submerged, with the water just about at the level of the hub.

Great fun, but I'm certain it's not done the bike much good!
